music

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."

"If music be the food of love, play on."

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."

"Without music, life would be a mistake."

"I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water."

"Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness."
